This one actually shocked me. At first Pokerstars didn't even have a first deposit bonus, just reloads. Then they switched to the small 50 dollar bonus. Now they've completely changed things with a giant 600 dollar bonus. The news isn't all good. The terms have changed. Now instead of 10 FPPs per dollar the bonus clears at a rate of 17 FPPs per bonus dollar. That doesn't quite double the time needed to clear a dollar of bonus money, but it is close. So what was a great bonus for newer players is now a bonus that higher stakes players can tackle, like the Pokerstars reloads. Deposit using the STARS600 code for this bonus.

Because of the size, Stars lets you make 3 deposits within the first 30 days of the bonus to deposit up to 600 dollars. The bonus has a 6 month time limit, and clears in increments of 10 dollars.

A full re-review of the Pokerstars bonus will be posted soon, and the US Players Guide will be revised.
